Shack PSA: X-COM Series Now on Steam
by Blake Ellison, Sep 04, 2008 11:45am PDT2K Games producer and Shack family member Jason Bergman dropped by our forums to announce that the classic 90s tactical series X-COM is now available for purchase on Valve's Steam digital distribution service.
Four games from the series, listed below, have been added to the service:
- X-COM: UFO Defense (1993)
- X-COM: Apocalypse (1997)
- X-COM: Interceptor (1998)
- X-COM: Enforcer (2001)
Each game is for sale for $4.99, or the whole set of four can be bought for $15. Following Steam tradition, there is a ten percent discount in the first week of sales. The games are compatible with Windows Vista, according to Bergman.
While the X-COM series has laid dormant for 7 years, there have been persistent rumors of a new entry from BioShock creator Ken Levine and the 2K Boston crew.

I can remember in the "planet view" where you down the ufos and such, the time frame was blazing speed, even on a 1 min basis. How is this one?
